What a rush!

Rating: 10/10 (20 July 2005)

This Island is definitely a ride. The beginning shots set the tone for a fast paced movie. Since the plot is centered around the two main characters escaping their utopian type society and being hunted down, there are obviously going to be a huge number of chase sequences. The really cool ones are done with different vehicles and result in lots of explosions and destruction of the city.
Humor is also nicely inserted into the movie. Its usually centered around the clones not knowing much about the world, (understandable since they haven't been exposed to most of it) but its low key insertions make them funny.
While the basic premise has been done, The Island is very very good. As long as you go for a fun ride, and don't plan to pick at the movie for meaning and scientific accuracy.
